Dinner Menu Fable Saturday Dining
Farm tour: 6:30 p.m.
Farm table seating: 7:00 p.m.
Every Saturday evening from Memorial Day weekend through Thanksgiving.
Dining at Fable, farm to table, is a unique farm and culinary adventure. The evening begins with a 6:30 farm tour led by Farmer Tom. Or relax on the stone patio and enjoy a drink and the view of sheep grazing the hillsides and cows grazing the distant mountain pastures. At 7:00 p.m. guests enter the modern addition of the 1860 Greek Revival farmhouse and gather around the harvest table to enjoy great food and company. The four-course, prix-fixe menu features the best of the farm’s just-harvested organic meats, dairy and produce. Locally grown cheese, vegetables and fruit are also featured. An early summer menu may include steamed peas in the pod with lemon verbena beurre blanc, roast lamb with shallots, garlic and rosemary on a bed of new potatoes and rhubarb strawberry tart with goat crème frâiche.
The price for the prix-fixe dinner is $48-52 per person, depending on the menu and excluding tax and service. Organic and New York State wine and locally brewed beer are available by the glass or bottle. You are welcome to bring your own wine or beer. A $10 corkage fee is charged per wine bottle.
By reservation only via phone or email. Credit card number is necessary to reserve your seat. If you cancel after 8 p.m. on Friday, or if you are a no-show, your credit card will be charged the full, prix-fixe menu charge. You may send a friend in your place! Groups of ten persons or more require a nonrefundable deposit of 50%.
Fable is available for private parties and weddings. We will create a seasonal menu that suits your taste and budget.
Lodging is available on the farm at Stone & Thistle Farm’s farm stay and Bed & Breakfast or in Harmony Hill Lodging and Retreat Center’s tree house yurts or mountain chalet, located a stone's throw from the farm.

Farm Weddings and Parties

Imagine white tents in green pastures with views of cows and sheep grazing the hillsides; seasonal, organic feast lovingly prepared in the farm’s restaurant Fable; bride and groom arriving on carriage or horseback; guests entertained by a sheepherding demonstrations; wildflowers picked from the meadows decorating the tables and tents; dancing by firelight on the bluestone patio with the night sky sparkling in the background.
